Some of these binary packages for KDE 2.0.1 will be available for free download under http://ftp.kde.org/stable/2.0.1/distribution/ or under the equivalent directory at one of the many KDE ftp server mirrors. Please note that the *** ...why are .debs not included in the "Some"?... KDE team is not responsible for these packages as they are provided by third parties -- typically, but not always, the distributor of the relevant distribution. *** ...sounds like they will take binaries from those they kinda trust, *** individual or organization... KDE 2.0.1 requires qt-2.2.1, the free version of which is available from the above locations usually under the name qt-x11-2.2.1, although qt-2.2.2 is recommended. KDE 2.0.1 will not work with versions of Qt older than 2.2.1. *** ...since Debian's KDE may also require stuff not in Debian, would *** you need to upload all the related packages to KDE's site?... At the time of this release, pre-compiled packages are available for: * Linux-Mandrake 7.2 * RedHat Linux 7.0 (i386), RedHat Linux 7.0 (Alpha), RedHat Linux 7.0 (Sparc), RedHat Linux 6.x (i386), RedHat Linux 6.x (Alpha) and RedHat Linux 6.x (Sparc) * SuSE Linux 7.0 (i386), SuSE Linux 7.0 (Sparc) and SuSE Linux 6.4 (i386) * Tru64 Systems *** ...Debian should be in the above list!, something like... * Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 (i386), Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 (powerpc), Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 (sparc), Debian GNU/Linux "Woody" (i386), Debian GNU/Linux "Woody" (powerpc), Debian GNU/Linux "Woody" (sparc) *** ...or would including Woody be inappropriate? - Bruce
